Discussion: Simplifying Solution Space

Abstract

The dissertation aims to answer how solution space can be simplified to enable non-expert users to innovate and design. The overall objective was to explore the solution space in the context of user innovation related to 3D printing and to identify mechanisms in 1) the use of solution space, in 2) the structure of toolkit solution space that enables non-expert users and to 3) design new mechanisms based on the learnings of the exploration. Part V is the concluding Part of the dissertation and begins with a summary of the studies in the previous Parts.
